As I posted in another area I had an accident in my EC which ended up costing £5k to repair and I was apprehensive about my insurance renewal due in early May despite have 'No Claims Protection'.

Well the renewal came through and it was up by £33 from last year @ £230 fully comprehensive with Protected NCD (3 claim limit) so well happy and didn't bother shopping around as the claims experience was excellent and it includes a free Green Card and 90 days EU cover (for when we eventually get out of 'lockdown')

Just wondered what others pay around the world for the same car, EC Edition One?

I think insurance premiums are a little different in the U.S. I have a near perfect driving record -- never had a moving violation and only one chargeable accident and that was over 40 years ago -- and yet I still pay ~$800/year with a $500 deductible. It would be like comparing apples to butterflies.

@Lunatic59 Actually the 'deductible' is somewhat the same, but your 'premium' is around 2.5X what I pay at current Forex rates and I have been driving 50 years now. Whilst I agree the comparison is somewhat difficult, it is interesting to see the differences around the globe as everyone in the UK complains about 'high' insurance costs.

My premium for the first year on my EC Exceed was AU$510 or ~US$362 (~£291) on the current exchange rate. That's with full no claim bonus and AU$850 Excess (deductible) for any claim. It's due for renewal end of May so I expect them to try to hike the premium but I'll wait and see.

We just purchased a 2020 Eclipse Cross ES yesterday and are so excited! This is our first new car in over 30 years. Does anyone have a good, reliable site for purchasing accessories that are not on our vehicle? Specifically we are looking for the all weather deep dish floor mats and cargo liner...

Hi guys, anyone managed to turn off the day running led while idling? It stays on as long as the engine is on but sometimes I just need the air-con on while parked but I don't want to be noticed with the LEDs and the rear brake lights on.
Is there a way to disable it?
Thank you

Managed to book my Eclipse Cross in for its annual service this morning. Have been phoning the Dealer over the past weeks but they have been closed due to the Lockdown. Evidently they reopened on Monday of this week for appointment only servicing etc., and my car is booked for 9am next Friday...
